Turner pit

Engelska till Svenska Teknik/ingenjörskonst Mekanik/maskinkonstruktion

Unfortunately the same as below: no context...

"turner" may be "svarvare" but I found a lot of differnt translations for "pit" and I have no idea how to put what together... and how... and at all...

Discussion

Non-ProZ.com Sep 10, 2004: Sorry, the capital T was a reflex - I don't think it's a name
Non-ProZ.com Sep 10, 2004: Unfortunately the client refuse to provide furhter information (maybe it really has something to do with the CIA, very strange). "Turner pit" is also a part of this maintenance list (like the "diagonal saw"). Other appearing tools: "trimming unit", "energy chains" and "pinch roller wheels"
EKM Sep 10, 2004: Any possibilities of revealing whether the expression occurs in a list, and if so, with what other items? Failing that, maybe you could reveal the business of your client's company?

Turner-gropen

Capital T indicates a name. 'Svaravargrop' verkar osannolikt

Peer comment(s):

neutral	EKM : Vem är i så fall Turner i detta fall? 26 minuter
	Bäste Mårten: Detta undandrar sig, som man brukar säga, mitt bedömande. Kontexten är ju inte rikhaltig precis! Kanske är det förre CIA-chefen Stanfield Turner ;-)
